Supersize Me Review Okay. I don't know if this will go through or not but I cannot seem to open any actual diaries. I can do everything else, but look at my own or others diaries. Don't know what is up, I might have a virus or the server might be nutty, but will do this post in case it gets out there. I recommend everyone see Supersize Me when it comes out at the end of May. They're trying to get it into multiplexes and it's a pretty good documentary film, though I am biased towards the genre. It's a rather engaging experiment on what happens when you eat McDonald's three times a day for a month. The guinea pig has a cute nerdy vegan girlfriend too who disliked his lifestyle change and there's a wonderful part where she talks about how fast food makes his libido die. He's basically tired and lazy and can't get it up much since he started the diet and she goes on about how she really has to work to get it up and then she always has to be on top...it's great and I decided Dan needs to eat less fast food, lol. Overall, the movie is rather engaging and clearly shows how damaging fast food can be (though I won't spoil the actual results) as well as industry viewpoints and issues such as marketing to kids. It both fulfills an intellectual study such as Fast Food Nation but also low humor/gross factors such as describing McDonalds like herion, puking up his first Double Quarter Pounder, and the fabulous stomach reduction surgery. Other than that, I have tons of work to do again. I am going to edit some of the thesis today after I work through the last bits of my proposal for monday. Luckily, we got the last presentation slot so we have about two more weeks to get that done. Thank god. I know it needs some revision. Daphne |
